Cleantech Homes LLC is an educational organization that specializes in the advancement, dissemination and integration of efficient, sustainable, healthy and green building practices. Cleantech professionals understand the complex interconnections between the various components, technologies and applications involved. Rapidly changing green building techniques and methods are a new elusive and often bewildering reality for many stakeholders in the industry, including architects, developers, the building trades, real estate professionals, educators, and building code officials.

Cleantech’s ultimate goal is to respond to the consumer's increasing desire to make green building and real estate decisions based on the latest technical and financial considerations to environmental, cultural and geopolitical concerns.
